It is not a secret that some of the best chefs on the planet are “French-trained”. Their work in gastronomic restaurants in France brings valuable experience for their careers. That highly influences not only their techniques and style of cooking but also what cuisine they cook. Not surprising- usually French.…

Still having my fresh memories of my recent dinner in La Table de Joel Robuchon in Paris (16th) I was very interested to see how his New York branch has evaluated. Especially, that the only time I dined in L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon in NY (Four Seasons hotel ) was…

I thought I should give a second chance to this 3 Michelin stars seafood restaurant, even if my first time there was very disappointing. I told myself I would choose other dishes which would prove my initial judgements were wrong. Unfortunately, after my dinner in Le Bernardin last Friday, I…

Visiting San Francisco wouldn’t be as good without eating the creamy clam chowder in Fisherman’s Wharf!

I have never felt so light after 11-course dinner. Organic gastronomy. This is how I would describe the cooking of Danniel Patterson at Coi restaurant in San Francisco. I really begin to like the New American cuisine – unconditional freshness and quality, respect to the ingredients and intelligence… In archaic…
